Why I Do This Here

Sorry to break out the hillbilly-speak, but it simply couldn’t be helped. This note gathering project got me more excited than a monkey with a grease gun.

Turns out there’s something pretty powerful about the process of taking a big sentiment … such as “Why do I want to lose weight?” or “Why do I want to get healthy?”… and boiling it down to a note card.

I was so impressed and flabbergasted by the responses I got on this project that I’ve decided to stretch it out as far as it’ll go. So send me your note cards, with your hopes and dreams synopsized onto a 3x4 inch card (or whatever you’ve got around the home or office). Email them to JackSh.tGettinFit@gmail.com (and don't forget to include a blog link if you'd like that included).

I love seeing everyone's faces (and fingers) and reading their reasons for losing weight ... some of which I also have but my @ss isn't that big to fit it all on. ☺ Like Amy, some of these made me tear up because they hit close to the heart. ♡

I just got back from the beach and I'm trying to catch up! What a fabulous idea! They don't make a card big enough for all of my reasons, but I'll see if I can give you a condensed version....look for my email in a day or two. :)

About Me

Come and listen to a story 'bout a man named Jack,
Who never quit eating ‘cept to stop and have a snack.
Then one day he was standing on his scale,
And he realized he’d really let his body go to hell.
(Obesity that is, back fat, Texas toast)
Well the first thing you know old Jack he made a vow,
He’d ratchet up the exercise and slow down on the chow.
He wanted to get his weight back to where it oughta be,
So he loaded up his stuff and he moved to Bloggery.
(Google Blogger that is, writing posts, makin’ jokes)
Well now it's time to say hello to Jack and all his sh*t
As he chronicles his adventures on his journey to get fit.
You're all invited back each day to this locality,
To have a heaping helping of health and hilarity.
(Jack Sh*t, Gettin’ Fit, that is.)
Y'all come back now, ya hear?
